HOST: Mother. Momager. Maverick. Mrs Bennet.
She’s flipping the script on the Hertfordshire marriage market. Within one year, her unconventional methods have turned the entire industry on its head. You could say the business of her life was to get her daughters married.
MRS BENNET: When it comes to marriage, I get results. I mean, the numbers - they speak for themselves. Mr Darcy, ten thousand. Mr Bingley, five thousand.
HOST: And Wickham?
MRS BENNET: He’s… very charming.
HOST: Your methods have been called “unconventional.”
MRS BENNET: Look, I’m a disruptor. And not everyone likes it. But I’m not here to be liked. I’m here for my daughters to be liked by rich men.
Unrelated, are you single? I’ve got two lovely daughters left. Girls, girls.
HOST: You… no, I’m actually—
MRS BENNET: Would you?
HOST: No.
Just have a look. I have pioneered a three‑step methodology which has completely transformed the marriage market in rural Hertfordshire. One day I asked myself, what if all of our assumptions about the way we raise girls for marriage are wrong?
